Cooking isn’t just a hobby—it’s my creative playground. Believe it or not, I couldn’t even make tea until I turned 18 and moved out of home! Since then, I’ve embraced the joy of experimenting in the kitchen, where recipes are just suggestions, and every dish is a chance to innovate. From bold flavor combinations to improvising with unexpected ingredients, this playlist is all about celebrating the art of experimental cooking. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cook, join me in exploring the endless possibilities of what you can create in the kitchen!
